Remember John Kerry? Yes, he is currently our Global ambassador (for lack of a better word, on climate change), he was also a Purple Heart veteran who ran swiftboats – small ones, up and down the river in Vietnam, a fairly easy target on missions. The Dems nominated him in 2004.

Remember John McCain? Yes, he was the guy who flew combat missions over enemy territory in Vietnam and whose plane was hit – he could’ve easily lost his life, instead, he was captured and held prisoners for five years.

Remember George H.W. Bush? He was the guy whose plane was shot down in the Pacific, when he wasn’t even 20 at the time, most of the guys on his plane lost their lives, he survived and was rescued. He once said he thinks about those guys every day.

Jimmy Carter worked on a nuclear submarines.

These are the type of people that fought for our country, not to mention presidents like George Washington and many after him.

Trump faked a bone spur and said that avoiding STDs in NYC in the early 70s equated to his “Vietnam.” He wasn’t really kidding. He felt brave about it. It is a prerequisite that any MAGA wanna-be candidate is photographed with a g*n, and not just any g*n, now it has to be an AR-15, a machine built for war. We have yet to see a picture of Trump holding a g*n. He likely fears them the way he fears someone wrongly opening a Diet Coke.

And yet, the painter Jon McNaughton imagines the whiniest president in American history, the most thin-skinned, easily manipulated, most compromised, least principled… as the “Rambo” of presidents and has dropped a new painting on Twitter that must be seen to be believed. Yes, that is Trump leading Washington, Lincoln, and a selection of others, doesn’t matter who, they’re all braver than Trump:

Twitter couldn’t stop laughing:

Guess which one of these was an actual draft dodger https://t.co/EEPN6WOKwK

It's so realistic. He even painted his disposable diaper bulge. https://t.co/AHxZcdFuE7

Only one of these presidents tried to end the American republic.

Guess which one. https://t.co/CJ3zPJBkQO

Aside from the blasphemy, it's REALLY creepy the way the cult portrays Trump considering his successful attempts to not serve during a war. https://t.co/eEx3ja6ecg

i swear to god making a debauched liberal catholic into a qanon symbol and borderline martyr is such a powerful manifestation of boomer mindset that we need a new name to describe the phenomenon https://t.co/3Cs7ZS1g0z

Why the hell are Jefferson, Washington, and JFK in this? None were Republicans. For that matter, the ones who are in it would kick Draft Dodger's ass.

I also thought George was supposed to be Pence, which would've been even more hilariously idiotic.

Poor Pres. Wilford Brimley. https://t.co/lCGabPqkm9

My favorite bit is how the only ones with any actual military experience in that bunch are the ones Republicans hate nowadays. You think the artist realizes every single Republican nowadays is on the side of the Confederate flag opposing Lincoln? https://t.co/DjMcK1XVVd

Why do these people think JFK wouldn't fucking hate them lol. https://t.co/fk1VT1LBXi
